This anticipatory bail application under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), 2023, has been preferred by the petitioner apprehending his arrest in connection with Complaint Case No.5757 of 2019, for offence under Section 498A IPC. 3. Learned A.P.P. representing the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail. 4. The petitioner is the husband. There is an allegation of demand of money and torture. 5. Admitted fact is that the case arises out of a complaint. In a complaint case, there is no question of custodial interrogation. The only fact which the Court has to be assured of is whether the accused will face the trial or not or whether there is any chance of tampering with the evidence. Cognizance has been taken against the petitioner under Section 498A IPC. 2025:JHHC:13464 6. The impugned order does not suggest any of the aforesaid situation. 7. Thus, in a complaint case, since there is no necessity of custodial interrogation, the petitioner is directed to appear before the learned Trial Court. 8. With the aforesaid observation, this Anticipatory Bail Application stands disposed of. (ANANDA SEN, J.) Prashant. Cp-3
